We have at least 2 Planeswalker cards that are two sided even though you had to meet the flip cost
"He's constantly confusing, confounding Primaris freshmen — everyone give it up for the multiverse's favorite fighting Frenchman — Zaffai-yette!"
Incorrect Erin. The Etched foils are very flat. The Commander Legends regular foil are where the pringles are.
The backlash with Harry Potter glad WOTC is not relating Strixhaven to Harry Potter
MTG ARENA is not on Samsung phones. Or at least mine
Currently we have Theros Beyond, Ikoria, M21, Zendikar Rising, and Kaldheim. That is 5 sets
People lover characters because the card is good. Less so for the actual character.
I've also been playing Arena on Android since launch and have had zero problems. Not sure what other were talking about.
So, the thing about Rowan and Will is that they're very whitebread — they have that kind of Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, children's literature protagonist feel.
The Magic The Gathering video game looked cool
Personally, i loved the Invocation cards. You guys know that. I wretched when i saw the mystical archive. I think the japanese arts are cool, otherwise, the 8-bit art is really not appealing. I would not buy any mystical archive foils except as maybe a speculation it'll go up in value.
I guess back to collecting invocation (looks at Damnation invocation) damn. The good invocations are like $200 each. Crap.
Re: Magic Legends
Any team who "Loves Magic" or "Played Magic for years" wouldn't make an ARPG for it, because it's not constructed for an ARPG.
An "ARPG in the Magic Multiverse"….. maybe. A "Magic ARPG" is a B.A.D. idea.
It's not a beta if you are spending real money for stuff and there isn't a reset, you are just playing an early access game.
They should make a 'Dunces hat' artifact you give to another player and all there creatures are 1/1's
Straight cis dudes? I resemble that comment. Can I not promote magic?
Man I still think about Three Dudes Seriously
I love it, and frankly… I want a Three Dudes Seriously bumper sticker or sticker for my water bottle
To start things off: Agree with the feedback you've been given, getting a more fresh take on topics is a good thing 🙂
Now back to the rest of the video 😉
I love Rowen and Will, I want them to be good so much. The Royal Scions is one of my Favorite cards.
I love Rowan and Will, but mostly because I'm very gay and Rowan is very pretty
To go on record that I’m not with Erin on this 1. Wasn’t there a story of the scorpion promising the frog not to sting, in exchange for a river-crossing, then stinging anyways & sinking them both mid-river coz scorpion will always b a scorpion?
Well, I strongly feel that Gids (Cap’n America) need always b Gids. He does his final Gids, some of us will mourn him a bit. Also, secretly, he might have deeply wished for a suitable opportunity to go join his compadres mentioned in the card Tragic Arrogance…so, we have to let Cap…Gids, go.
Meanwhile, the prima donna favorite, Lili, will get to live another day & play out her regrets, maybe make more amends, in the extended show. Good drama
I am sorry MDFCs with 2 different characters is dumb
I was involved in the closed Alpha as a tester. I can say the following of my experience:
1) The game's "card" mechanics seem very clunky, in my opinion. If I'm going to play a game that has "skills," I don't want those skills to pop up on different buttons at potentially inopportune times.
2) The fact that it's not an MMO, but more like an ARPG (think Diablo 2) is fine, but not what I was sold / expected.
3) The visuals aren't that impressive. Granted, this may improve as development continues, but as far as a new game goes, it's not great.
4) The monetization is incredibly obvious and concerns me. I've played another Cryptic Studios game, "Neverwinter," for a while now and that game has devolved into a huge cash-grab, and I'm concerned that MtG: Legends will end up doing the same.
5) To be honest, this doesn't feel like a MtG game. This feels like some generic ARPG game with a fancy skin. If I wanted to play that, I'd play Diablo or Path of Exile.
I hope MtG: Legends shakes out and becomes a great game, but as it sits right now, my hopes are not high.
I'm waiting for me cephalid planswalker
